How much are the ants?

I ordered 2 batches of ants since i heard a lot die in shipment. I added food and the ice pack since it said they can take a long time in shipment. The food was not with the ants and the ice pack was needed. Total was $40 for just the ants (with shipping) and I ended up with 22 live ants.

There are lots of websites that sell the live ants. You can use antsalive.com or sciencekits.com as a good starting point. They're between $4 - $5 including shipping. If you're feeling really frugal, you can search for coupon codes for those sites, and sometimes you'll save 10% or so.

It is .05%, works good, had to re-apply four times at 4 to5 days in between. No more ants in 3 weeks now! Amazing!

Not sure but... I do see them here and there along with the little ants. This stuff is awesome. It's equivalent to what the pest control company we hire uses.... it works. Within 24 hours. Most poisons take about 3 days. Just be careful if you have kids

Two ounces per gallon of water..... Works great on fire ants and many other pesky bugs.

The ant farm comes with the information on where to get the ants. Supposedly you can even use ants that you might find just outside, but I have always ordered the ants. The ants are delivered pretty quickly and in the years that I have done it, the ants have all been still alive with the exception of one or two ants per vial of 30 or so. I think that getting the farm and then having to wait only a few days to get the ants builds up the anticipation and the kids are super excited when the ants get here!

15" x 9.5" --- but I was extremely disappointed in this product. My experience was: After repeated requests for over a year we never did get the ants; even when I complained to the Better Business Bureau this company was totally uncooperative and rude. In my opinion, the whole thing was a complete waste of time and money.

yo. dont waste your money- i put this bait out ants wouldnt get near it and when i put them on it they would run for cover your best bet is to mix 0ne half cup borax soap and one cup sugar this will do the trick good luck!!!!!!

I wondered the same thing, but my mom said I shouldn't have to. Apparently dead ants get eaten by the other ants, or something.

I had to feed the ants for almost a month, it can get quite expensive but still just a fraction of what an exterminator would charge, it's been about a month now since i've seen any ants at all....If you have patience, it's great! They keep feeding and taking it back to the colony until there all gone, they love this stuff!

I bought 3, 2lb. jugs to treat a multitude of mounds on a horse ranch (several acres). They were small to medium ant mounds, distributed all over the place (I did not count, there were so many). I only used 1½ jugs, so 3 lbs. to rid the ENTIRE ranch of Fire ants! They call me the Fire Ant Fairy. :) Yes, as Steven F. said, a little goes a long way. Follow directions...you'll see results in a day (2 days max)!

The gel they live in is also the ant' s nutrition. They are worker ants and all males. In an ant colony, there is only ever one female, the queen. The ants live about 2 months, which is their normal lifespan. You then unavailable to get new batch. You couldn't even keep "adding" New ants so as to constantly have live ones, as the would be killed by the original ants. In other words, you can't mix members of different colonies. Use it as a life lesson for your child, that death is a part of life.

it should be okay as long as the granular mix is small enough. the slots for the ants to enter and exit narrow.

There overside so maybe 35.00 or a little less. This depends on where they are going.

Not too much, just under 2 Tbs. They're super cute though. My 3 year olds love them.

Sorry Julie, I don't have ants. But now that you mention it, when I lived in Manhattan, there were some tiny bugs, smaller than ants that enjoyed the litter. I just cleaned the area very well. Maybe mixing the litter with baking soda may help.
